We have 3 different eink reading devices on the market right now. The iRex Iliad, the Sony Reader and the Hanlin V8 (alias the lbook). The Hanlin V2 is not really available yet as far as I know, so I won't include it right now.

We have the comparison matrix online to compare the devices, but it's a bit hard to do a real evaluation that way.

Now, here comes the idea...

There are several iRex Iliad devies in the US, there are lost of Sony Readers and maybe a few Hanlin devices as well...so maybe some of our readers in the US (or elsewhere) could meet somehwere and do an extended photo (and maybe video too) review of two or even all three of the devices in direct comparison.
I think the US is the most likely place for this to happen (because Sony is so vehemently not selling outside the US, at least officially), but of course I'll be just as happy to see something like this happening in any other country.

Maybe we have users here who actually own two of the devices, that would also be pretty cool...

Now, let me know what you think! Is this something you would like to see and do you know how we coul dmake it happen? Or maybe It already has happened and I missed it?
Thanks.

I haven't heard much about the durability of these e-ink devices. Is there any guess about how durable they are...I know they won't last forever but since they are so expensive, what can one expect? JB
